Hello Yousef,
I passed the online tests as well but it seems like it took them quite a long time to review the application form? Have you receive the telephone interview invitation? If so, how long does it take after you passed the online test? Thanks.

Yeah I think they’ll open them in Sept like Deloitte. I remember a couple of years ago that PwC had set weeks for interviews. So for example you could apply in Sept, but all first interviews/assessment centers were in December/January. Does anyone know if this is still the case this year?

You could talk about Shell’s proposed drilling in the Arctic. PwC can advise on the reputational damage this may cause and whether it fits in to their corporate strategy.
Specific difficulties:

reputational damage

protests by environmentalists which could delay projects/increase costs/affect image

Situation with falling oil prices could reduce the financial viability of projects like this

The situation in Greece can have a big effect on business sentiment in the UK so it could provide advisory services to affected businesses as to how to respond to this risk. Also, certain industries like pharmaceuticals are affected massively by the situation in Greece. Greece owes international pharmaceutical companies loadsssss so PwC could advise companies like Astrazeneca on how to hedge against the risk of default. You could show the interviewer that you’ve done your research for this by talking about some of the bodies which Greece owe money to like the IMF, ECB and Eurozone countries. You could also chat about how it missed a couple of it’s debt repayments and how a deal was eventually struck with the Greek Government where it had to introduce reforms if it was to receive further financial aid.

Hey !! I recently passed my telephone interview and have been invited to the London AC on the 26/08, I am most worried about the numerical tests, because Ive heard that it is harder than the online one we did at the start due to even stricter time constraint. I was wondering if somebody knows that it is the same set of questions ? Or is it completely different or with some reoccurring ones from the first one ? Also, can somebody recommend me the most suitable places to find practice from ?
